BARF Buckwheat Flakes 1000 g – gluten-free flakes for a healthy diet
Originally native to Central and East Asia, buckwheat is not botanically classified as a grain but rather as a member of the knotweed family. For our buckwheat flakes, the whole grain is gently steamed and then rolled into fine flakes. These flakes have proven particularly effective in BARF feeding: BARF enthusiasts use them as a supplement to meat rations or pure meat cans. To do this, the flakes are soaked in water beforehand and then mixed fresh into the food. As a gentle source of energy, they are an easily digestible supplement for sensitive stomachs and can serve as a nutrient-rich base in a BARF feeding plan.
Nutritional Profile – What’s in Buckwheat Flakes
As a pseudocereal, buckwheat offers all the benefits of grains while being gluten-free and particularly easy to digest. Buckwheat flakes are naturally rich in valuable nutrients that optimally nourish humans, dogs, and cats alike:
- High-quality plant-based protein – easily digestible and important for muscle development
- B vitamins (including B1, B2, and B6)—support metabolism, nerve function, and energy balance
- Vitamin E – acts as an antioxidant and protects cells
- Minerals such as iron, potassium, and calcium – contribute to blood formation, heart function, and bone and muscle health
- Dietary fiber – promotes digestion and ensures long-lasting satiety
All these nutrients come directly from the buckwheat grain, with no additives or artificial fortification. That’s exactly what makes buckwheat flakes so healthy—a wholesome, natural, and particularly gentle addition to your pet’s food bowl.
Buckwheat Flakes for Dogs and Cats—Versatile
Dogs benefit from the addition of buckwheat in the form of flakes because they provide easily digestible energy and do not strain the gastrointestinal tract. They are particularly suitable for active dogs that need extra energy reserves, or for older animals that require a gentle and easily digestible diet. Thanks to their gluten-free composition, they are also a good choice for pets with allergies.
For cats, buckwheat flakes are a practical supplement if they aren’t getting enough fiber or if their digestion needs a boost. They can help support bowel function and contribute to the natural elimination of hairballs. At the same time, they provide plant-based protein and valuable minerals that effectively supplement the daily diet.

Quantities and Feeding Recommendations
The 1,000 g package of buckwheat flakes can be portioned out as needed. Depending on your pet’s size, age, and activity level, they can be used as a side dish or as a base in their daily food. We recommend storing the flakes in a cool, dry place.
Simply pour hot water over them, let them soak briefly, and mix them into the food. This allows them to reach their full potential and makes them particularly easy to digest.
They’re also popular in simple buckwheat recipes like porridge, homemade dog cookies, or as an addition to meat-based meals.
